Well, that was a bit of an ordeal...as the treasurer of Theater Artists Olympia, I had to renew our website domain, but it all has the information from the TAO treasurer, two treasurers ago.  But it looked like if I wanted to change the name of the "owner," all the e-mail addresses associated with the website would NOT transfer over to me!  WTH??  So, I updated all the contact information (address, personal e-mail address, phone number) to my info, EXCEPT I didn't change the name to mine. :-\

I sent an e-mail to that previous treasurer, and asking her to let me know if she gets any kind of e-mail confirmation or not.  Hopefully, things won't get all screwy.

Not that I mind my epic dreams, because they're endlessly facsinating.  But when I have a long run of them, I spend far too much time thinking about them, and wishing parts of them were real and thanking the heavens that parts of them are not.

Last night DR vixmom said that she and vixdad are going to Kissimmee, and I said I'm going to Orlando.  DR John G. was just in Florida.  I spent my pre-teen and some teen years in Florida, and of course DRs Mike and Danise live there. 

Maybe someday we can all converge for an HHW Florida get-together.

Anyhoo, those of you at the Kritzerland shows in NYC met my good friends Kristi and Nathan who have been sharing my house for several years.  For the first time ever, we've been able to coordinate a little mid-winter getaway, and next Wednesday morning we're flying into Orlando for a week of nice weather and a complete break from everything.  Well, not every last thing -- I'll have the iPad with me and will be here for daily ketchups.

And that's my news o' the day!

I have finished up here, so I can head home.  Last night, I remember that I had weird dreams, mostly about dead acquaintances and family: I remember my dad and Ron Raines were in several, and one of them was a mashup of Ohio, college theatre, and Manhattan. The one with Ro Raines had something to do with a late show at a movie theatre and something creep, but i forget what now.

So, to home.

Thursday morning greetings!  I have been to have my hearing tested and to see the PA at the ENT office about the buzzing in my right ear.  My hearing is close to perfect and the PA basically said, "Live with it."

Post by: Jane on January 15, 2015, 08:50:41 AM
Thanks Singdaw, George,  & Vixmom.

Vixmom, apparently the story was on the news in Canada this morning.  Maybe your in-laws saw it.  My friend's sister did while she was at the dentist and yelled out "That is my brother" ;D

Annoying is how the airline downplayed the part where they told him his puppy had been stolen before they finally figured out he had been left on the flight to continue to Calgary.

Fortunately, the buzzing is not constant.  Certain things trigger it, like a church organ, some voices, water running over my head in the shower.  The PA said sometimes grinding your teeth at night might aggravate it, so I think I'll go back to wearing the guard the dentist made for me several years ago.

I have some tinnitus, too.  Fortunately, I think (and of course fervently hope) that my hearing is still in good shape.  One of these days I'll take a hearing test.  Last time was a couple of decades ago, and it was great then.

But yeah, we have to get used to it.  Mine is only a distraction at certain quiet times.  When I'm really involved with some activity, and certainly with music or even watching something, I'm rarely aware of it.  Sometimes even the quiet times are truly quiet.  Not right now, though.  There's a nice whistling going on in my right ear right now!

True, but it was the breeder/friend who couldn't reach him and asked on his facebook page.  He should have been in contact with her.  I believe the problem was a hangover and sleeping in his clothes.  He didn't plan to spend the night in a hotel-lol

Last night DR vixmom said that she and vixdad are going to Kissimmee, and I said I'm going to Orlando.  DR John G. was just in Florida.  I spent my pre-teen and some teen years in Florida, and of course DRs Mike and Danise live there. 

Maybe someday we can all converge for an HHW Florida get-together.

Anyhoo, those of you at the Kritzerland shows in NYC met my good friends Kristi and Nathan who have been sharing my house for several years.  For the first time ever, we've been able to coordinate a little mid-winter getaway, and next Wednesday morning we're flying into Orlando for a week of nice weather and a complete break from everything.  Well, not every last thing -- I'll have the iPad with me and will be here for daily ketchups.

And that's my news o' the day!

when are you going to be there?  We will be there the 24th - 31st

TCB, the ALS benefit thing is different this year.  They usually do their own Gala every year, which is where they make their really substantial money from large donations.  Because our show date kind of conflicted, we all met and it was decided to combine the two - which is why they get the thirty minutes to do their thing.  It's my job to make sure it doesn't stop the show or impede its flow - I don't think that will necessarily be easy, but it's my job and I will make sure we have a great show.

Back from The Dresden Room and what I must say was a somewhat disappointing experience.  We arrived at seven and there wasn't a soul in the restaurant.  They sat us and we ordered.  We both had prime rib (I had the larger cut with the bone) and salad, baked potato and I also ordered a shrimp cocktail.  To start, they brought us some garlic bread.  The thought it smelled heinous, but I took a bite and it really was strike one - just awful, and nothing like The Smoke House or any other good garlic bread.

The shrimp cocktail sauce was decent and so were the shrimps, although while they were decent-sized, they weren't the best kind of shrimp for shrimp cocktail.  But decent enough.  The ranch dressing was great, but they don't make it themselves (none of their dressings were homemade).  Then came the prime rib, which was HUGE.  We both liked but didn't love it.  Mine was a bit difficult to negotiate because it was a little tough - flavor-wise it was good, though, but not anywhere near Lawry's or The Smoke House.  The best food of the evening was the baked potato.  It's not somewhere I never need to go again.  I am uncomfortably full right now.

Prior to leaving, I'd written ten pages.  I was making lots of changes as I went, trying to find the right way to do a little sequence, which I finally figured out just before David got here.  When I got home, I took what I'd written earlier and worked it into the new way I'd found - that went very quickly.  Then I just kept writing, so I think I did a total of fifteen pages in all.

Oh, too bad.  Well, write that one off.

I don't think I've ever had prime rib at even a halfway decent place that I had to describe as tough.  That's crazy, man.

Best of all, Muse Margaret got the pages soon after I dropped them off.  She read them without being able to put them down, and loved them - with not one note about anything.  Most heartening, her favorite thing was the thing I'd waffled about a few days ago - how to do a particular sequence - I'd written it the way I thought it should be, then started second guessing myself, and I figured out a different way to do it.  But when I read it the next morning I felt I'd done the right thing and that it was just what was needed at that point in the book.  And Margaret felt exactly the same way.  She said she was laughing out loud for the entirety of that section.

I know, it was a first for tough prime rib - it was really hard to cut, but that might have been the thickness, too.

So are Seahawks football, basketball or hockey players?


I dont follow sports but I kinda know which sports are played  in part of the year



They are football.  They are one win away from returning to the Super Bowl.

I have heard of the Superbowl.... that's the show with all the great commercials



That's the one.  And between commercials they play football.

And during the intermission, they have the real entertainment.

Of course, I'd hate for that to be the last word on the subject.

Oh, no!  Ervin Drake, songwriter of ‘It Was a Very Good Year,’ dies at 95 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/ervin-drake-songwriter-of-it-was-a-very-good-year-dies-at-95/2015/01/15/a7e1cae6-9cec-11e4-a7ee-526210d665b4_story.html)...but wow!  He lived to be 95 years old!

Well, I cannot keep my eyes open.  I don't know why I seem to be so tired, but I'm going to bed now.  Tomorrow, I usher for a musical group from Canada called The Good Lovelies (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2015/1/16/good-lovelies.html).  I watched a couple of their music videos and they're pretty good.  I'm sure that I'll enjoy their live performance. :)

Good night, all!
